Description by OLDIES.com:

With a Who's Who of credited and uncredited Hollywood talents, this all-star revue is heaven to fans of musicals. Fred Astaire dazzles once, twice...four numbers in all. Red Skelton reprises his funny Guzzler's Gin skit. Esther Williams swims, Lena Horne sings and Judy Garland spoofs snobbery. There's Verdi opera and Fanny Brice vaudeville. Patter and pantomime. And "The Babbitt and the Bromide," with Gene Kelly joining Astaire in their first-ever screen pairing. What a show! The man called Flo must be proud.

Product Description:

This MGM spectacular features many of the greatest stars of the theater and screen. A lavish salute to Broadway's most opulent producer.
